I've got a strange fascination with the new one, so of course I like this one.

As café racers go, that's rather good.

I like that. Nice aluminium shaping work on the tank and tail.

Love the simplistic clean look of it, but the tyres are ridiculous and completely spoil it for me
Why the fuck people put those old 1950s truck tyres on bikes beats me,- in addition to being really functionally shit at what motorbike tyres should do, they look absolutely wank too....

hmm - nah.

Tank too small, headlight too small, tyres way too big, pipes are ghastly. Commandos are good looking by default but they managed to make it look wrong.
